According to Team Marketing Report, it costs a family of four an average of just under $235 to go to a Major League Baseball (MLB) game in 2019, putting a serious dent into the family checking account. This figure included restaurants, parking and souvenirs.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, fan attendance declined, with a 7% dropoff between 2016 and 2019. While some of that can be attributed to bad teams and less interest in the sport, the cost is a major factor. You want good value for your money when attending an MLB game. Like most sports, some stadiums give you that value and experience. Others don’t.
Forbes has ranked all 30 MLB stadiums, taking into account design, amenities and views. Here are the ballparks, from those closest to covering all bases to those with the most strikes against them. Yeeeeer out!
